Valentines Tablerunner

My unofficial resolution is to use my stash this year. I say unofficial because I know I won't be able to completely keep to that. I'm sure some of you understand. ;-)

In that spirit, I decided this Valentine's charm pack I
had sitting around, along with a bit of yardage, needed to get out of my
stash. It turned out pretty cute! Our family will enjoy Valentine's
dinner in a more festive way this year.

Small projects like this are giving me a sense of accomplishment right
now, but I do have to keep working on my Swoon quilt and the one for my
almost 4 month old son. I also have plans for two throw pillows for friends of mine. I *may* need to go do a major clean of my sewing/laundry room, too. On to the next project!

Fabric: Candy Kisses by Sandy Gervais for Moda charm pack, classic dots in latte from Connecting Threads, border is another Valentine's line from Sandy Gervais by Moda (but I don't remember which one and the selvedge is now gone)

I have had a charm pack of Candy Kisses FOREVER as well, I think it was the first charm pack I ever bought. Anyways, I finally decided on a pixelated heart quilt top. Just need to get the cream for the background, obviously won't have it done by Val's Day 2013, but there's always next year :)

About Me

I'm a wife and mom to a sweet little girl and a little boy. I love quilting. When I can, I like to get creative, which is mostly quilting with a little beading and cooking thrown in. This blog is about those creating adventures.
My first name isn't too hard, Kari--which I pronounce like "carry," but my last name is a real beast. Vojtechovsky (in an Americanized form) is pronounced: Voy tek ov skee. My poor kids won't be able to spell that until college. You can just call me Kari V. It's totally fine.
